Travel with the Aeronaut isn't like travel with wheeled luggage: you won't ever hesitate to make your way through the crowd, down a cobblestone alley, across the grass, or up the trail. With the load on your back, you can navigate through not just airports, train stations, and bus depots, but through airplanes, trains, and buses. Hard to categorize, the Aeronaut is at once soft luggage, a duffel bag, and a backpack. It takes the best of all those bags and combines them into what many people have found to be their most versatile travel bag yet.Three families. Three Trips. Three packing styles using the Aeronaut:

Martin Mull wasn't thinking much about work when he was offered his current job on FOX's "Dads."
"Before Dads, I had been in what I would call almost-retirement. I told my agent, "Don't dial the phone, answer it. If somebody wants me to hold up a tube of toothpaste for a hundred grand, I'll do it, but I'm not looking for work. I'm a painter. I'm having fun painting.
"And then this script came across, and I knew it was Seth MacFarlane, I knew the other people in it, and I said, "Oh, my God, this is hilarious," Martin told avclub.com. "And I had to do it. It was a labor of love, which has turned into just that: a labor of love."
Martin Mull joins Steve Edwards and guest host Deana Carter on Good Day L.A.
Fun Facts About Martin Mull: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) He is an American actor who has appeared in many television and film roles. He is also a comedian, painter, and recording artist. As an actor, he first became known in his role on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and its spin-off Fernwood 2 Night. Among his other notable roles are Colonel Mustard in the 1985 film Clue, Leon Carp on Roseanne, and Willard Kraft on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
2) Mull's first well known acting role was as Garth Gimble in the 1976 television nighttime absurdist soap opera Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. This led to work in the spin-off comedy talk shows Fernwood 2 Night (1977) and America 2-Night (1978), in which he played Barth Gimble, Garth Gimble's twin brother, as talk show host, opposite Fred Willard as sidekick Jerry Hubbard.
3) In 1979, he appeared in the Taxi episode "Hollywood Calling".

Soft Structured Carriers
Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006
Angel Pack LX Organic Soft Structured Baby Carrier (Chocolate Sherbert)
" I bought my angel pack about 4 years ago. The price tag may sound a bit steep but for a product that continue to use and reuse I think it has more then paid for itself. With my first child we purchased a popular brand and model and after about 3-6months we gave it away and only used it maybe 2-3 times. It was bulky, complicated and uncomfortable. The angel pack was a..." --eclipsegrafx

A few years ago at a WSSC I presented a ride with this title. The message is self-explanatory:
When faced with an obstacle do you regard it as a roadblock or do you have the capacity to look past the initial annoyance. Can you search for a greater meaning using it as an opportunity to move forward.
To this day that particular ride remains very close to my heart as there were people present in that room that were going through their own personal difficulties and together we cried for ourselves for others and found higher ground. Through the story of others and using examples of how life can kick you when you are down we channeled the determination we would need in life and put in our legs as we proceeded through a ride that was also a stumbling block itself.
Today I had a small stumbling block...I got a flat tire. Literally five minutes into my ride I went over a small pothole and blew the back tire. I was obviously annoyed especially since I was on my way to meet my riding crew.
Somehow riding for nearly 6 years I've never needed to change a tire on my own. In fact in all my riding even when I was a kid and rode a mountain bike I've only ever gotten a flat once and my friends helped me change it.
When I started racing I paid a guy in a bike shop to teach me just in case. Recently before my Ironman event I had a refresher but until today I never had to test my ability.
It is difficult to know what we are capable of until we are put to the test. I knew I had paid attention in my one on one lesson but until life presented me with the challenge face to face how could I know if I was capable.
In turn because I had never been tested I lacked confidence and faith in myself. Today though I surprised myself. I not only changed my tire but I declined the help of a very nice person that offered their assistance and I said
"I've never done this before but...I think I've got it…I'll be okay"
And I was. So I wiped off my grease covered hands got on my bike and rode off much happier than when I had stopped.
Often even though the stumbling block is annoying and it stops us in our tracks of doing what we set out to do, at that point we have an opportunity to embrace the potential. Today my potential was to overcome my fear of not being able to change the tire – I agree this is not a huge life changing moment. But if I didn't get the flat then I wouldn't have been able to be proud of my success.
Even though the flat tire was initially annoying - the result actually made me grateful for the flat.
When we are caught in the middle of the "poop-hitting-the-fan" it can be difficult to see what the greater good is. However I honestly believe that with every stumbling block there is a clear stepping-stone if we are prepared to search for it. We may not even see it at first but there is always one there...eventually.
So whether your stumbling block is a flat tire, a broken fingernail or a chronic illness there has to be a lesson within the process for us to seek and find its purpose in self development.
Why should we? Why should I try and find a glimmer of light amongst the darkest of difficulties?
So we can find peace.
It is also called acceptance. If we can accept the unexpected, embrace it and make it our own then we can move forward more peaceful and happier sooner than if we wallow in misery of the situation itself.
Also another approach that I like to take is nothing will ever beat me or hold me down for long. We may stumble, we may even fall but we always get up...we have to.
Anyway that's my little two cents worth for today and in the meantime I'm high fiving myself for changing my first ever flat tire....
Woohooo! :)

Discover more resources for these services: HDInsight
Azure PowerShell is a powerful scripting environment that you can use to control and automate the deployment and management of your workloads in Azure. In this article, you will learn how to manage HDInsight clusters using a local Azure PowerShell console through the use of Windows PowerShell. For the list of the HDInsight PowerShell cmdlets, see HDInsight cmdlet reference.
Before you begin this article, you must have the following:
An Azure subscription. Azure is a subscription-based platform. The HDInsight PowerShell cmdlets perform the tasks with your subscription. For more information about obtaining a subscription, see Purchase Options, Member Offers, or Free Trial.
A workstation with Azure PowerShell. For instructions, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.
HDInsight uses an Azure Blob Storage container as the default file system. An Azure storage account and storage container are required before you can create an HDInsight cluster.
To create an Azure storage account
After you have imported the publishsettings file, you can use the following command to create a storage account:
# Create an Azure storage account
$storageAccountName = "<StorageAcccountName>"
$location = "<Microsoft data center>" # For example, "West US"
New-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -Location $location
The storage account must be located in the same data center as the HDInsight Cluster. Currently, you can only provision HDInsight clusters in the following data centers:
For information on creating an Azure storage account using the management portal, see How to Create a Storage Account.
If you have already had a storage account but do not know the account name and account key, you can use the following commands to retrieve the information:
# List storage accounts for the current subscription
# List the keys for a storage account
Get-AzureStorageKey <StorageAccountName>
For details on getting the information using the management portal, see the How to: View, copy and regenerate storage access keys section of How to Manage Storage Accounts.
To create Azure storage container
PowerShell can not create a Blob container during the HDInsight provision process. You can create one using the following script:
$storageAccountName = "<StorageAccountName>"
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureStorageKey $storageAccountName | %{ $_.Primary }
# Create a storage context object
$destContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName
-StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
# Create a Blob storage container
New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $containerName -Context $destContext
To provision a cluster
Once you have the storage account and the blob container prepared, you are ready to create a cluster.
$storageAccountName = "<StorageAccountName>"
$containerName = "<ContainerName>"
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
$location = "<MicrosoftDataCenter>"
$clusterNodes = <ClusterSizeInNodes>
# Get the storage account key
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureStorageKey $storageAccountName | %{ $_.Primary }
# Create a new HDInsight cluster
New-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name $clusterName -Location $location -DefaultStorageAccountName "$storageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net" -DefaultStorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey -DefaultStorageContainerName $containerName -ClusterSizeInNodes $clusterNodes
The following screenshot shows the script execution:
Use the following commands to list and show cluster details:
To list all clusters in the current subscription
To show details of the specific cluster in the current subscription
Get-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name <ClusterName>
Use the following command to delete a cluster:
Remove-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name <ClusterName>
HDInsight clusters have the following HTTP Web services (all of these services have RESTful endpoints):
By default, these services are granted for access. You can revoke/grant the access. Here is a sample:
Revoke-AzureHDInsightHttpServicesAccess -Name hdiv2 -Location "East US"
In the sample hdiv2 is an HDInsight cluster name.
By granting/revoking the access, you will reset the cluster user username and password.
This can also be done using the Windows Azure Management portal. See Administer HDInsight using the Management portal.
The HDInsight cluster distribution comes with some MapReduce samples. One of the samples is for counting word frequencies in source files.
To submit a MapReduce job
The following PowerShell script submits the word count sample job:
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
# Define the MapReduce job
$wordCountJobDefinition = New-AzureHDInsightMapReduceJobDefinition -JarFile "wasb:///example/jars/hadoop-examples.jar" -ClassName "wordcount" -Arguments "wasb:///example/data/gutenberg/davinci.txt", "wasb:///example/data/WordCountOutput"
# Run the job and show the standard error
$wordCountJobDefinition | Start-AzureHDInsightJob -Cluster $clusterName | Wait-AzureHDInsightJob -WaitTimeoutInSeconds 3600 | %{ Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput -Cluster $clusterName -JobId $_.JobId -StandardError}
hadoop-examples.jar comes with version 2.1 HDInsight clusters. The file has been renamed to hadoop-mapreduce.jar on version 3.0 HDInsight clusters.
For information about the WASB prefix, see [Use Azure Blob storage for HDInsight][hdinsight- storage].
To download the MapReduce job output
The following PowerShell script retrieves the MapReduce job output from the last procedure:
$storageAccountName = "<StorageAccountName>"
$containerName = "<ContainerName>"
# Create the storage account context object
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureStorageKey $storageAccountName | %{ $_.Primary }
$storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
# Download the output to local computer
Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container $ContainerName -Blob example/data/WordCountOutput/part-r-00000 -Context $storageContext -Force
# Display the output
cat ./example/data/WordCountOutput/part-r-00000 | findstr "there"
For more information on developing and running MapReduce jobs, see Using MapReduce with HDInsight.
The HDInsight cluster distribution comes with a sample Hive table called hivesampletable. You can use a HiveQL "show tables;" to list the Hive tables on a cluster.
To submit a Hive job
The following script submit a hive job to list the Hive tables:
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
# HiveQL query
$querystring = @"
SELECT * FROM hivesampletable
WHERE Country='United Kingdom'
Use-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name $clusterName
Invoke-Hive $querystring
The Hive job will first show the Hive tables created on the cluster, and the data returned from the hivesampletable.
For more information on using Hive, see Using Hive with HDInsight.
See Upload data to HDInsight.

Customer Reviews
Simple in a good way, but annoying in the long run
I like the the app for its simplicity— just type away! But there are some major annoyances that makes me not stick with this for writing. The first thing is the inability to pick font, especially font size. The authors of the app are deliberately *not* providing this feature for reasons that are simply ridiculous and arrogant (see their web site). It is frankly a pain that you can't zoom in and out of your writing. Also while I like the short cuts for headers and bullets and so forth, I don't like the default styling, specifically I find the fact that bullet lists are shifted out to the left really bizarre and visually unhelpful. I love the idea of chrome-less and simple writing tools- the antithesis of Microsoft Word's distracting feature chaos- but I am not using IA Writer anymore for the reasons mentioned.
I am using it more and more.
I love the app. I use it to prepare lectures. I write them on my Mac and then deliver them from my iPad. For me it works great. It did take a little time to get use to the markdown way of writing. From other reviews I gather that it does not follow markdown standard completely but it works great for me. In previous versions my only annouce was printing from the Mac. They have added the freature to print the mark up view.
Let just say again that this app paired with the ipad version makes a great team. Write the document on the Mac or the iPad. Edit in both places.
The giant blue cursor is great. It makes it easy to see where your typing. After using iA Writer, I spent twenty minutes tyring to see if I could change the cursor in Pages and TextEdit (no).
Pretty lousy
I tried to love this app, but it just doesn't do the job.
It has a few problems that never seem to get fixed. First, no night mode. How is a writing application in 2014 STILL without such a basic feature? I don't care what the developer's "philosophy" is. Black text on a stark white background is blinding at night, and not having the option to invert text without resorting to using OS X's accessibilty "feature" is ridiculous.
Two, the program seems to pick and choose which part of Markdown it supports. It doesn't make sense.
Three, there's no way to increase the text size in the editor. This is an inredibly arrogant decision by the developer, telling *me* what's best for my eyes. Who does that?
With other great options out there, it's hard to recommend this app. Try Byword or Ulyssess III instead.

You're Not in Good Hands, Seriously!
Posted by AllStateSucks on 12/18/2010
My fiancee and I had our auto and home insured through AllState. We never had any problem until the night that I checked my Allstate online account to find out that our homeowner insurance policy didn't show up on the screen. We called and found out that we were terminated a few months before that night because our roof was not in what Allstate considered acceptable shape. We did have an inspection prior to purchasing the home and our home inspector had told us we had 3-5 years before a replacement roof was needed. We expected to need a replacement in the near future, however we weren't expecting to be dropped from our insurance because of this.
We would've appreciated the notice and would have replaced our roof right away because we care about our house and having insurance. The Allstate representative said they notified us and we failed to respond. We immediately searched our Allstate file in the event we mistakenly missed it, but there was nothing there regarding needing a roof replacement.
My fiancee burst into tears when we were told that AllState would absolutely not insure us because of our delinquency to reply to their notice. We explained that we never received such notice as we would have acted on it and did not have any record of it in our files, but Allstate said they did not know that was true because many people choose to go without insurance and we could be those kind of people. We further explained that we would not be calling them to address this issue if were indeed those kind of people, as we wouldn't care to be without insurance, but our call clearly showed our concern. The representative told us there was nothing they could do for us as they would not insure us now that we had chosen to go several months without insurance. We asked to speak to a manager and were told that a manager would tell us the same thing and that it was a waste of our time. We still requested to speak to a manager, against the representative's advice and were told we'd receive a call within 24 hours but we never received a call.
My fiance took the next day off of work so we could work to resolve this problem and get insurance elsewhere since Allstate would not insure us. While she was on the phone with Allstate, trying to find out why we never received these notices, an Allstate representative slipped that they where not sent to the correct address. It turns out the address they sent the letters to was a rental apartment we lived in previously to owning our house. Funny enough, they sent everything else (bills for both auto and homeowner) to our most recent address, so how did everything but these notices make it to the correct address?
When we found out that AllState sent the letter of notice to the wrong address, they told us we were just as liable as AllState for making sure that the mail was sent to the correct address. We were told that we should have checked to make sure they had the corrrect address. We explained that we never thought they had an incorrect address since the address was correct on our online account and all other mail from their company was delivered to our home address. Furthermore, when we set up the insurance we gave the address of the house where we would need to be insured. Allstate refused to admit any responsibility for this and instead blamed us for not checking to make sure they had the correct address. We asked why they didn't contact us by phone or email if we didn't respond to these very important letters but responded to everything else they ever sent us, but were again told the mistake was in our hands.
My fiancee found other companies that would be willing to insure us at a much higher price since we had been without insurance, but only if we could provide documentation on why we were terminated. She contacted Allstate again and was told that such documentation could not be found. The only documents they could find was a letter stating the termination, but not the reason for termination. This made it impossible to get insurance elsewhere. My fiancee tried yet another Allstate representative, this time someone local. At first the AllState agent had basically the same attitude like the woman from the night before, but he did finally agree to reinstate our policy. Nonetheless, he was merciless in stating that we would have to have our roof fixed before our renewal policy, which only gave us 19 days. We got our roof replaced (tear-off and replaced all boards) the next week. We notified the agent right away, but he said it would take at least a couple of weeks before he could get an inspector to come out to check the roof. When asked whether that meant that AllState would terminate our policy again the AllState agent said yes, they would terminate us again, until the inspector came out and checked it.
Enough was enough, as soon as we got the reinstatement letter, we immediately switched to a new insurance company since we would soon be dropped from Allstate once again. In fact, the broker who assisted us in choosing a company represented many different insurance companies but not Allstate, because he said that this sort of incident was typical of Allstate and many people have had problems with them.
We notified our lender about the switch. I cancelled the AllState policies. I thought the story ended. A couple of weeks later, we received an outstanding balance notification that we owed AllState some money. Apparently it was the cost to insure us from the day they terminated our policy until the end of our policy. The charge came up because the reinstatement was dated back to the day they terminated us. Considering how horribly they've been treated us, I asked myself, "would AllState seriously have covered damage on our house that happened during that period of time when we were cancelled?"Yeah, probably not.
I absolutely wanted to have nothing to do with AllState ever again but to campaign about how horrible the company is to everyone we know. I paid the dues anyway and hoped to never hear back from this company ever again. Yes, AllState is that bad and you will not be in good hands with them.

They were going to drop you again while you were waiting for an inspector? That's incredible. I think they did you a favor. I too would be worried about how they would handle a claim. You might want to think about switching all of your insurance at some point.
Also, if your lender requires homeowners insurance then Allstate would have a record of that. So how could they say that some people choose not to be insured? You would obviously need insurance.
This review makes Allstate look very bad.
Posted by leet60 on 2010-12-18:
Just curios. If they terminated you a few months before you were aware, did you not notice that you were not being charged for the additional insurance? Or do you pay annually? If so it would seem a refund is warranted for the months you were not insured.
Posted by Venice09 on 2010-12-18:
That's a good question, leet. I didn't think of that.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2010-12-18:
also, if you are financed through a bank, they would be notified of the cancellation of your insurance and they will purchase insurance for you at a much higher rate than you can get on your own.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-12-18:
I pay my homeowners insurance with my mortgage. If I was dropped, I would be none the wiser either unless I was told in writing. Allstate reinstated the insurance and backdated it so that there was no lapse in coverage enabling them to get insurance with another carrier so they will most likely not refund anything. They are crooks. I will steer clear of them. Thanks for the heads up and I am glad you were at least able to get insured elsewhere.

Typical Allstate hijinks!
Posted by Magic on 2013-07-30:
I did not know any of this about Allstate. I am praying for the best. I sign on in April2013 and then the inspector found a problem. They cancelled me. I fixed that and then it was another problem, I fixed that too. Now I am waiting to be reinstated.. this is nuts. I wished I did my homework on this company. I am praying for the best.

AllState drops you if you make TWO claims even for small amounts.
Posted by Allstate_Dropped_Me_Over_$500 on 07/24/2009
In 2007, wind knocked off shingles front of house -- $400 claim. First claim ever on this policy.
In 2008, more wind knocked shingles off the back -- $100
Been with Allstate 11 years ... at $800-900 / year.
Agent was powerless to override because the two claims were less than 3 years apart. Amount of claim is irrelevant. You're dropped. No appeal accepted. Good bye.
Then when you try to get insurance from ...
State Farm
Liberty Mutual
... none will issue a policy because of the claims. I called them all. Same rules apply. Two claims in less than 3 years = NO
Had to get insurance through an out-of-state company I've never heard of.

all Insurance company's do this. A insurance company drop me 10 years ago just because I asked about claims that that did not pay out on. They cancel me anyways.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-24:
Of course, they want to pay them for ever hoping that they'd never have to give you anything. Typical insurance company!

Did you try auto owners insurance...
I've had them for many years and never had a problem with a claim...
Just because they are called "auto owners" doesn't mean that they don't insure houses...
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-24:
Unless your house can be moved with a tow vehicle, like old fart's, I don't believe auto owners will insure you.
Posted by chaney2 on 2009-10-14:
these stories are scary.one does not realize how precarious our situations are.whether it's auto,home or health insurance it seems like the customers are at the insurance's mercy.to make matters worse these stresses come when you really need your insurance to come through for you.there is a need to really improve customer protection against these companies.

Cancellation of homeowner's policy
Posted by Twinsy on 09/02/2010
BERGENFIELD, NEW JERSEY -- I have had Allstate insurance for my private home in a suburban northeast nj area for 10 years. This year, for the first time, I submitted a claim. The claim was handled promptly and completely. A year later when I was due to receive my renewal I instead received a cancellation of my policy. I submitted a complaint, thinking this was done in error.
I received a call the next day (Sept. 2. 2010). I was told that since I only have "monoinsurance" ( i.e. only my home, not car, etc) I could not submit more than one claim in three years or the policy would be terminated, no matter what the cost or reason for the claim. It did not matter that I had the policy for ten years without submitting a claim. ANY claim I submitted, would mean immediate cancellation.
Allstate should get a new logo for their advertisement......hands opening and letting their customers fall through to the ground. They are an unethical company. Their representatives give misinformation, telling you what you want to hear (I was told that of course I would not be penalized because it was a legitimate claim and that I was in good standing with the company for 10 years).
This is an unethical company with policies that go against the nature of their business. My advice, read the fine print....and go with another insurance company....NEVER use Allstate.

I have an acquaintance who's been an Allstate agent for about 10 years and he has done things like this to keep profits high and risks low so this review doesn't surprise me.
Posted by ok4now on 2010-10-24:
I also have a "monoinsurance" policy with Allstate for my H.O. Just got the renewal in and it went up over $300, with no claims. Called my agent who gave me an honest answer. Allstate intentionally raised the H.O. rates trying to force people to buy their auto insurance and get a "multi-discount." Their auto priced out $600 higher that what I'm currently paying. I dumped them and went with another company at almost half the price & higher coverage for my H.O. Shop around & you will easily beat their price.

Making a claim
Posted by Tonyphilly on 06/06/2007
PHILADELPHIA -- Avoid Allstate. I went to Allstate because it offered a good deal, and I naively believed their ads. They are fine -- as long as you don't make a claim. We had roof tiles blown off by a storm. When I went to Allstate they refused to pay, saying that it was normal wear and tear, despite evidence of the storm (it was in the papers!). The roofing contractor did say that the roof was old and age may have been a contributing factor. The claims rep told me that the contractor said that the tile loss was due to normal wear and tear; the contractor says he did not say that, but that the storm was the immediate cause. In any case, if you have an old house, expect Allstate to deny any claim, saying it must be wear and tear. I'm cancelling the policy asap!

Aww sheesh, I'm sorry. I hope that you got your roof repaired and it didn't cost you an arm and a leg. I pretty much loathe all insurance companies for that very reason.
Posted by runaway on 2007-06-06:
Have your contractor write a statement about his "discussion" with the adjuster regarding the cause of the problem, and resubmit your claim with a copy of it, and documentation of the storm (copies of paper articles). If they refuse the claim again, take it to small claims court (if not required to go through arbitration), or the insurance commission or state governing body. Hope you get it settled!
Posted by poppapia on 2007-06-06:
As said before, an insurance company is only as good as their claims management, and Allstate is very poor in this area.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-06-06:
You can't fault the insurance company for "pro-rating" the coverage on an aging roof. How many of your neighbors obtained roofing claims from their insurance companies? State Farm ponied up for my new roof a couple of years ago, despite its age - likely only because every other house on the block got a new roof because of hail.
Posted by mihalis on 2008-09-26:
The funniest thing about your comment is that it automatically linked to Allstate at the very beginning due to the way this website links its advertisements, so your comment reads like, "Avoid *ALLSTATE-CLICK HERE FOR A QUOTE!*" .. like I'm going to want a quote after reading a story about how much they suck. LOL

Perhaps you should ask first?
Posted by Pjpipersmom on 03/05/2012
PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- I've had my homeowners insurance with Allstate since 1999. In the winter of 2010 I had ice damage to my roof which caused it to leak. It took MONTHS to get someone here to look at the problem. This young man said most of the damage was "old"....well, yes, yes it was because it took them months to get someone here. Forget that, whatever. I wasn't home the day he came, I was working. My disabled Mother lives with me and was here. She thought he was a nice kid.....seemed to be good at checking things out.
Shortly after that I received a letter dated 10-14-11 stating they were going to cancel my homeowners policy due to "debris" on my porch and I should respond by 1-24-13. I wasn't too worried, this man (I refuse to say gentleman because what I'd like to call him isn't kind) didn't bother to ask what things where......didn't bother to ask why my bicycle is kept on the porch (I've no garage, just trying to keep it a bit out of the weather) or didn't bother to ask why recycle items were on the porch. (I work all week and we don't have pickup, I can only go to the dump on Saturday). I I figured within the next 14 months I'd respond and it would be fine.
Today I receive a letter dated 3-1-12 stating they are going to cancel my policy on 4-23-12.....eight MONTHS before I was even required to respond. To say I'm upset about this is putting it mildly. I've my homeowners ins (paid until 2013), and 2 cars with Allstate. I've never had an accident. Now some kid comes to my home months after I requested someone and does something like this without asking me, the homeowner, any questions. Please make note I listed Portsmouth, NH because my agent is there (who I've always thought was wonderful) but I live in Kittery, ME

The "good hands" people. The reason they are dropping you is because you put in a claim. The money only flows one way (to them). I cringe when I see their commercials promoting themselves as a premium insurer. They are among the worst.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-03-05:
It does sound like they were just looking for a way out. Since when can't a homeowner keep a bicycle and recyclables on their own front porch? That's ridiculous.
Posted by jonthethird on 2012-03-05:
ANY water damage scares the insurance companies to death. Black Mold, imagined or real, can cost them a fortune.
Posted by ok4now on 2012-03-06:
Now you know why they are called "Allsnakes." They want your premium dollars and spend big advertising bucks to get it. File a claim? Screw you. They look for any and every excuse to get out of paying.
My wife was rear ended by one of their insured. She was out of work for 3 months with a documented neck and back injury. At first they refused to even acknowledge the accident! We hired a very aggressive lawyer and it took three years before these toads paid up.

denied leak damage
Posted by Artaud on 12/16/2003
About a year ago, I noticed that my kitchen tiles were cracking, last month, the wood beams in my basement ceiling started leaking.
The plumber finally found the problem, when he slid out my stove and saw the wall behind the stove and sink was crumbling at the wood was rotted, as well as the wood under the tile floor.
A pinhole leak in a hot water pipe in a wall, over time put a leak in the drainpipe.
Allstate says none of this is covered because any damage over time is excluded. Rotted wood is not covered.
So I have to tear out my kitchen and rip up and repair the subfloor and lay new tile. A cabinet was also damaged and is buckled.
I was told this is a standard NYS policy. There is nothing deluxe about my Allstate Deluxe Policy
Read the fineprint in your policy. Only sudden damage is covered.

Just shut up and keep paying your premiums. You dont expect us to actually stand behind our policies do you? We dont make money that way silly!
Posted by geicogerry on 2004-02-03:
Yes unfortunately homeowners plicies do not cover slow damage like this. It is standard on all home owners contracts and is excluded from even the most comprehensive policies. Wish I could tell you otherwise but slow leaks like that are never covered.

Agent lied about home owners insurance coverage
Posted by Bone on //00
CINCINNATI, OHIO -- When I had signed up for my car insurance with Allstate a year or so ago, my agent talked me into going with Allstate for my home owners insurance as well. One of the selling points she used was that if I was ever visiting my friends in another city, and someone broke into my car and took my shoes or anything, they (Allstate) would replace them! I thought this sounded great. So a few months went by, and then someone broke into my car... I filed the police report, listing the items missing. I think it came to around $255 dollars worth of stuff stolen. I call my agent the next day and come to find out, they won
t replace any of my belongings because they said my policy had a $250 deductible! At no time did my agent ever mention this deductible when she sold me the policy, and yes, maybe it is my fault for not reading the 40 page document they sent me regarding the details of my insurance, but for her to lie about the coverage she was selling me was just not professional... I would recommend reading the fine print next time you sign up with Allstate.

Try Travelers auto Insurance the ones with the umbrella on there ads which they dont advertise to much to keep costs down.they are upfront and dont lie just to get you onboard.
Posted by Rhale3 on 2001-02-07:
All automobile insurance policies have a deductable for collision and comprehensive coverages ranging from a low of $50 to $2500. Selecting higher deductables helps lower the premium. You seem to be blaming the insurance agent for your lack of lieracy of how insurance works. Your deductables will be stated on the declarations page and are in the same size print as everything else is. Read your policy and learn; no agent will know what you don't know. It's your responsibility to educate yourself on business matters, if you rely on others to guide you you'll run into frequent difficulties on most business issues.
Posted by bone on 2001-02-16:
Hitchhiker, maybe you didn't read my review... my agent explicity sold me on converting to their homeowners insurance using the example of my shoes getting stolen and they would immediately replace them... obviously her example would never happen due to the deductible... so why did she tell me that? That is my point. You should learn to read better.

Posted by bjaustin1022 on 2006-02-13:
I think you are blaming your agent for your stupidity. What kind of insurance wouldn't have a deductible. If you find one let me know I am sure everyone else on here would like to know to. I am sure your agent sold you on adding your homeowners policy because you get a Multipolicy discount on your home and auto which looked real good on paper. As far as your agent lying to you I don't think she did I just think your hearing skills are just like your reading skills. ABSENT!

Solicitation Misrepresentation
Posted by Sptsfitness on 12/04/2013
DENVER, COLORADO -- I received a solicitation letter in the mail inviting me to contact them for a quote. The letter was addressed to me at my current address and contained accurate information about my home. The letter also had a breakdown of coverages that was close to matching my current coverage.
I spoke to the sale manager and she emailed me a quote for coverage. It was over 300% higher than the original letter I received and $600.00/year higher than my current coverage.
When I called her back, she was unable to explain why the quote was 300% higher than the original letter I received.
I feel that this company is engaging in a program of misrepresentation by sending unrealistic solicitations.

You Are NOT in Good Hands With Allstate!!!
Posted by Truelove_winstead on 07/06/2013
ARKANSAS -- On 6/23/13 my husband and I returned home to find that our lawn mower & trailer had been stolen from our front yard. We contacted the local authorities and filed a claim with our homeowners insurance. The value of the property taken was $3200. It took over a week to finally get in touch with the Allstate Claim adjuster assigned to our case. We conducted our interview, and was advised they would contact us back that day with the settlement.
When we heard back from them, we were told that we would be receiving $328.11 (after our $1000 deductible) for the trailer, and that the lawn mower would not be covered because I used it to mow my vacant lot, and my 67 year old widowed/disabled mothers yard (land I will inherit upon her death). I contacted my insurance agent, and he advised that the lawn mower should be covered, and contacted the adjuster himself. His response back to me was that he had gone "round and round" with the adjuster only to get the same response I was already given.
I appealed and was told by the Allstate Claims management department that due to the fact that my policy states that "motorized land vehicles will only be covered if they are used soly for the premises". I told him that upon signing my policy with my agent, when ask if I owned any other premises, I advised I owned a piece of land in a residental neighborhood, and the agent advised me that didn't matter as you can not insure land with no dwelling on it, the premises in question was referring to any other dwelling.
I advised I did not own any other homes. He chose the policy, and wrote the coverage. I am just NOW learning that there are apparently different types of homeowners policies. The Allstate Claims management team very rudely advised they would do nothing further to help me with this situation, and that I could contact the Department of Insurance or anyone I chose to, but the case was closed on their end.
I did take there advice and contacted the Department of Insurance, as well as Better Business Bureau advising that Allstate's advertisement of "being in good hands" is false. I am in no better hands than the thief that came and took our property. The only difference is that I paid Allstate to rob me, making me feel even more violated. I would NOT recommend this company as they do not stand behind their advertisement claims, and they have been very unwilling to help me rectify this situation. Let me also say that I have never received a copy of my homeowners policy, yet I'm the one being punished for someone elses mistake!!

This appears to boil down to you didn't understand the policy when you took it out. From your description, I couldn't figure out if the mower was on your vacant lot, or your 67 yr-old widowed disabled mother's, or somewhere else. Which lot did the insurance cover - one of these or a third lot?
While unfortunate, there isn't much to be done about that at this point. It's not really possible to argue that you had a misunderstanding, unless you have something in writing.
Posted by Respond on 2013-07-12:
trmn84 it sounds like you need to read the post again. This is a a lawnmower that he had on his own property and he used it from time to time to cut his aunts lawn. Typical Allstate moment

Allstate no service, no concern, no empathy
Posted by w103kln on 02/22/2013
GREENVILLE, OHIO -- Living room ceiling fell in while family (two young children) in family room. Explosive, dust throughout the house. Rafters to room exposed, drywall and insulation 3-5' deep in the room dust and debris flying throughout house. Evacuated family and called Allstate 800- 24 hour claim number. they said a contractor would be sent out in the morning and someone would call that night. No one called. No one showed up. Called Allstate back at noon, contractor showed up at 2pm. No claims adjuster? Contractor asked what the problem was, said Allstate said there had been a fire and he was a fire specialist? When he opened the front door to the living room he said "oh my God!" what happened here? This is dangerous, don't move back in. He said the weight of the ceiling would have killed anyone in the room. He said he'd call Allstate and let them know clean up was necessary before we could get back into the house.
Allstate called and said the claim was denied. When asked why? The girl laughed.... When told this was not funny as we could have been killed (the babies bassinet was buried in drywall). She said 'oh, well I just wanted to tell you why it was denied.
So, homeless for now, 2 days lost work, we're bagging up insulation, stacking up broken bits of drywall trying to get back into what's left of our house..... no thanks to Allstate, no service, no concern, no empathy--but don't be late on your premiums.

So much for "You're in Good Hands with Allstate". File an appeal once you figure out what caused the collapse.
Posted by trmn8r on 2013-02-22:
Subtracting out the emotion, and the lack of caring from the "good hands" people, what was the actual reason for denying the claim? That is the most important factor - she said she was calling to tell you the reason for the denial. What did she say?
Posted by JR in Orlando on 2013-02-22:
What was the cause of the denial? The issue that might be there is that this is not an "accident" caused by an outside force, but is a cracking, expansion, etc. of the house. My policy, state farm, does not cover it.
In that case, it would be similar to peeling paint, which would not covered. It may be a defect in the building of the house, or resulting problem related to the construction. Before I did too much clean up, I would have an independent adjuster come out, who could help with determining the cause. Perhaps you have a claim against the builder.
I assume you took lots of pictures before cleanup.

Soft Structured Carriers
" I don't have enough good things to say about this carrier, and I'm very sad that they're not being sold right now. My first experience with it was wearing a tester for hours at a conference with a heavy child on my back. Almost every other carrier I owned was causing shoulder pain, but the sculpted, shaped shoulder straps made shoulder pain nonexistent with this. Not only that, I'm a..." --jenrose
Sutemi Pack Baby Carrier
" I don't see this one mentioned a lot on the boards. I received it from a friend and it is hands-down my favorite carrier. I have had ring slings, wraps, etc. but this one is definitely my go-to. I have a large 5 month old (almost 20 lbs.) and it's the only carrier that doesn't leave my shoulders sore at the end of the day.

Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill is the neighborhood restaurant conceptualized by the award-winning chef. The 290 seat restaurant is the most authentic English pub experience in Las Vegas, as only a native UK chef can provide.
Chef Jeremy Berlin has been selected as executive chef of the novel concept and oversees the kitchen operations. Berlin moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles where he served as executive chef of Church and State. Berlin was previously a member of Ramsay's brigade as Executive Sous Chef of Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood and sous chef of Gordon Ramsay at the London NYC.
Acting as two unique restaurants the grill section of the restaurant features a relaxed and friendly setting with dishes including Scottish Salmon, lamb T-bone, whole brick pressed Cornish chicken, dry aged 30 oz. bone-in beef rib eye and spotted dog. The pub features elevated British pub food in a comfortable and lively setting showing sporting events from across the world on state of the art entertainment systems. The pub includes 36 beers served on tap in addition to another 63 bottled beers. With an eye towards dishes that pair well with beer the pub menu includes English ale onion soup, shepherd's pie, a selection of sausages and the classic pub fish and chips.
The center piece of the restaurant is a striking bar with an array of beer taps and a backdrop reminiscent of iconic British telephone booths. A patio area extends the restaurant towards the casino floor where guests can be part of the action. Tabletops comprise of rustic, pottery inspired dishes layered with unprocessed woods and rugged serving vessels. The uniforms are inspired by the English punk scene and feature a number of multi-media pieces designed by Allison Leach, a continuing trend with Gordon Ramsay's Las Vegas restaurants. With proximity to the Colosseum, the entrance of the Forum Shops and the self-parking garage, the restaurant is a convenient location for both locals and visitors enjoying the Caesars Palace amenities.
Celebrity chef and triathlete Gordon Ramsay recently took over the Caesars Palace Twitter for a limited time to answer questions from fans. Chef Ramsay fielded questions about his favorite cuisine, culinary inspiration, the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill holiday menu and his hit television shows, Master Chef and Hell's Kitchen.

I'm pretty certain this is the best shopping experience I've ever had. I found what I wanted on AmericanMuscle.com, then did some price shopping and ended up coming back and order from them because they had the lowest price AND free shipping too. I honestly look forward to spending more money with American Muscle. They have customer submitted photos in addition to their great product photography as well as installation guides from users and manufacturers. Their videos are honest and incredibly useful. I can't think of anything else I'd like to see from them.

Breakthrough in printed electronics
An example produced for the exhibition was access-trading cards connecting the real and the virtual world
A world first in volume printed integrated electronics circuits was exhibited at the recent Plastics Electronics trade fair in Frankfurt. The Institute for Print and Media Technology at Chemnitz University in Germany has developed a new process that enables electronic circuitry to be produced with mass printing technology. The new process will enable the mass production of very cheap integrated circuitry in paper and cardboard and can be expected to have massive consequences in manufacturing, the future of RFID and the blurring of the line between printed objects and the virtual world.The first practical applications are expected to be electronic printed maps and printed paper keyboards, closely followed by labels for clothing, luggage, packaging, ticketing and after that … almost anything.

Census gives look at changes in agriculture The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has announced the availability of preliminary state and national demographic data from the 2002 Census of Agriculture � the nation's largest agricultural
"The 2002 Census of Agriculture serves as the most comprehensive source of data describing U.S. agriculture. The results show the great diversity of people involved in this important segment of our economy," said Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman. "For the first time, the census will provide us with measures of the total number of people operating farms and ranches, as well as the number of households sharing in farm income."
Veneman said the new 2002 Census results show African American, American Indian, Hispanic and women operators are all significant contributors to agriculture and their numbers have all increased since 1997. The data includes the first ever comprehensive measure of the number of women involved in day-to-day farming and ranching decisions. Measures for each of these groups are also available for each state.
"This census incorporates collection of new data and improved methodologies to enable us to present the most complete and accurate picture of U.S. agriculture available," said NASS Administrator Ron Bosecker.
Several new measures were included in the 2002 Census of Agriculture, including information about more than one operator per farm. Final, complete data for Puerto Rico are also available.
Demographic data contained in the report released today include gender of operator, residence on or off the farm, days worked off farm, years present on farm, age group categories, race and number of persons living in each household. For example, preliminary results show:
* The average age of American agricultural producers in 2002 was 55.3-years-old.
* 27.2 percent of agricultural producers were women in 2002; the number of women who were principal operators increased 12.6 percent from 1997.
* Principal operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin increased by 50.8 percent from 1997 to 2002.
* Black principal operators increased by 8.8 percent and American Indian principal operators increased by 19.4 percent from 1997 to 2002.
* Ninety percent of America's agricultural operations are still run by individuals or families and most are still small farms.
* Fifty-nine percent had less than $10,000 in sales of agricultural products in 2002.
Final 2002 Census of Agriculture data at the national, state and county levels will be released on June 3. That report will provide first time facts about organic crop acreage and sales, production contracts, farm computer and Internet use, plus the broader, full range of traditional census data including land use and ownership; acres irrigated; crop acreage and quantities harvested; livestock and poultry inventories; value of products sold; value of production contracts; participation in Federal farm programs; and, market value of land and buildings.
The census of agriculture is currently conducted every five years; the first was conducted in conjunction with the 1840 population census.
All reports from the 2002 Census of Agriculture will be available free through the NASS Web site at www.usda.gov/nass/. For additional information regarding the Census, call the NASS Hotline at 1-800-727-9540.
